Kimbo needs ALOT of training still with Bas Rutten to even be considered fighting any top MMA fighters. Why are you mentioning boxers when he's not a boxer?

i'd like to see Kimbo fight a few decent competitions right now and then move to the higher tier fighters.

Shouldn't this be under the UFC/Pride/MMA thread?

fantasy fights? Kimbo isn't even a real fighter yet. he has fought cans this entire time. he lost to an ex-mma fighter on the streets and defeated bunch of nobodies. in mma, he defeated Ray Mercer, who is an old school boxer with 0 mma skills and that Cantrell guy who took a dive out of nowhere.

give Kimbo time and this guy will be a real fighter. Bas Rutten will make him into a machine.

Admiral Akbar

I was under the impression he fought a lot more people in the MMA. I also agree that with the proper training he can become a beast fighter, same goes with brock lesner.

Agreed.

Kimbo will obviously improve under Bas, but I really don't see him getting very far in the MMA world. I think it's one of those "too little, too late" things. Honestly, the guy is already 34. I don't see him ever amounting to much more than a spectacle beating on low tiers, but people will watch because of his internet fame. He could prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

I foresee Brock going down the same path as well if he even sticks with it. Fighting cans and such but attracting people due to the name. He will probably do alright with some submission defense though. Again, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Going off the internet fights, Kimbo can take some punishment. Combine that with the fact he's training under Bas and I think he'll get a fight against a top guy before getting really thrashed. He's gonna continue knocking out low to middle of the pack guys tho.

We may actually see #2. ESPN hinted at a Slice/Tyson matchup in the works.

I think anyone on that list would beat Kimbo Slice. They guy has fought nobody, he went around beating up civilians on the internet. I'd love to see this guy fight Liddell, or anyone on that list in there prime. Just so I can watch him get his ass kicked.

Kimbo vs. Tyson

mr.smiley

Kimbo has the potential to be a decent fighter if he continues training,but one thing we learned after his fight with JT,is that Kimbo has a very,very,long way to go before he can even be considered a top MMA fighter.The fact he's on the cover of ESPN magazine sickens me.

Brock Lesnar

I'd say Lesnar would take it, he has the wrestling background, he has a good takedown plus he is also faster and younger than Kimbo and I'm willing to bet he has better stamina too.

I agree.Broc would smash him early in the first.

The only person on this list that Kimbo has a chance of beating is Butterbean.

Kimbo is bottom tier talent.

In their prime, with the exception of maybe, butterbean, all of these fighters would wreck Kimbo...,embarrassingly so.

#5 is happening in October.

8. George Foreman Would he die? Add more fighters. 1. Don't know.

2. In his prime, Mike.

3. I honestly don't see how Butterbean really beats anyone. If Kimbo can outlast him and wear down his stamina, Kimbo, but since Butterbean throws 400 pounds of weight in every punch, Kimbo will probably lose. Slice always struck me as more of a brawler who trys to use his size, strength, and punching power to win, and that won't work on Butterbean.

4. Chuck would crush Kimbo.

5. In his prime(hell probably right now) Ken would break Kimbo's fvckin leg. Kimbo isn't ready to take on the hall of famers.

6. No one beats Marciano.

7. Joe would win.

8. As would Foreman.

Dr. Leg Kick

you guyz are really underrating Butterbean. The guy is doing pretty ****ing good in MMA considering his super heavyweight status and his weak ground game.

even though he does have a few submission victory under his belt.

Biff Tannen

I'm going to have a good Oct/Nov. First Fedor vs Andre, then Randy vs Brock. Niiiice.

Biff Tannen

Eh... I guess Fedor got dropped from Affliction. Don't really want to pay for a ticket to see Andre vs Barnett.

That was a very nice set up on saturday night.

14 seconds

Hopefully this will dispel the myth that Kimbo can be a legitimate fighter in the professional realm. 14 seconds hysterical

WrathfulDwarf

I find it comical how some folks are saying he took a dive. He did not...he was KO fair and square. The man is fraud and nothing more than a Youtube hoax.

His next move now is go to the WWE with all the actors and clowns from that circus. He will fit perfectly!

Blinky

First off let me say this, I always thought of Kimbo Slice as a "Flavor of the month". I was one of those people like WD who thought Kimbo was WAYYY overated.

Now as for WD saying

I think people have a right to question the fight for two major reasons, well these are my reasons for believing the fight MIGHT have been fixed.

1) Seth Petruzelli punches did not look THAT solid.
2) Kimbo made no/little attempt to cover up once he was hit.

Now, I know that there exists the possibility that Kimbo just is not MMA material (has a glass jaw) and that he didn't cover up due to being "stunned". Well it is possible that Kimbo is out, I guess only time will tell. Personally I am glad that the fight shut up Kimbo Slice Fan-boys for a bit.

Darth Vicious

I doubt it was fixed. Kimbo's EliteXC bread and butter. I think he saw a guy with pink hair across from him that found about the fight a few hours earlier and got careless.

Anybody knows (links?) if Dana White commented on the fight? Im curious as what he had to say about it.

Dr. Leg Kick

Kimbo's chin is in suspect now. That jab may not have had power, but it was a quick strike. Seth has an excellent Karate background, and he's overall a decent mixed martial artist. Kimbo on the other hand is a street fighter who's only been training with Bas Rutten for a short amoutn of time.

ragesRemorse

I don't believe that Kimbo took a dive but i can certainly understand why people would think otherwise.

His opponent went from Shamrock to an under card fighter on the same day of the fight. Shamrock was injured the morning of the fight because the cat he trains with and has trained with for years accidently head butter Shamrock, causing an old wound to rupture. This alone sounds suspicious but, Kimbo's team openly admitted to accepting the change for more money. That dispels a dive for me.

The fight looked fixed if you over estimated Kimbo. His footing was that of an amateur (at best) and when he first fell to the ground he neglected to act on his opponents open legs for a take down. He also neglected to try and protect himself. Again, if you thought Kimbo was some kind of professional fighter then these two aspects would look very suspicious. He is not a professional by any means, though. He may be an incredible brawler but the blank expression on his face after the match says all you need to know. That man was dazed and confused. I respect what Kimbo tried to do. He tried to have a Rocky story but a 9-4 under card stole his Rocky story in 14 seconds. Kimbo was, however, very humble during his post fight interview so good on for him.

Probably mentioning boxers names since Kimbo can't fight for crap on the ground.

Exactly.
The only people screaming fix are those who were putting too much into the Kimbo hype train.
Kimbo lost fair and square,and any educated fan who saw Seths picture show up as the replacement knew Kimbo was in trouble.

Darth Vicious

LOL, Dana White said if Kimbo wanted a job, he could try for The Ultimate Fighter. I think if Kimbo wanted to earn his respect and ours (most of us anyways). He should do it.

Also, Kimbo should fight Ovecream for great laughs.

Dana White, President of the UFC even said the same thing. He said Roy's got better skills, but Kimbo can knock him out cuz he's got more power. Do you even watch Ultimate Fighter?

Kimbo has the knockout power, but as Kimbo said on the show, he's still learning. And he's an idiot for losing Bas as a trainer.

I'm hoping Roy wins. The guy is arrogant but I was really impressed with his ground skills in grappling tournaments.
